Three years ago, Jina (Mahsa) Amini was arrested, beaten, and died. She was full of life. #WomanLifeFreedom

Pew published a new global religious landscape report that mentions GAMAAN. Happy that our work can help researchers to look critically at the Islamic Republic's official figures, given how many Iranians have risked their lives to express a different reality.

Net binnen: Het mooie afscheidscadeau aan onze collega Nico Landman, die met pensioen is gegaan. Zowat de hele Nederlandse club van Islam-kenners en andere excentrieke academici hebben meegedaan. Ik schreef een hoofdstuk over Secularisme…

WAPOR-the World Association for Public Opinion Research- selected my colleague Ammar Maleki at GAMAAN as therepresentative of Iran. This is an important recognition for those of us who have warned for years for preference falsification in surveys in authoritarian contexts.

One of my favorite images for a chapter I'm writing on the visual culture of the Woman Life Freedom protests: "Religion and politics are separate" - 2023, by Elham Ataeiazar. Follow her on Instagram: www.instagram.com/elham.ataeia... #Secularism #Iran
